Let’s cut the crap: sitting on your hands and hoping your unit eventually delivers the training you need is a losing strategy. In the real world, delays get people hurt — or worse.

You wouldn’t wait for permission to defend yourself in the field… so why are you waiting now?

Take control. Get the skills. Be the one who’s always ready — because no one’s coming to save you.

You already know the truth: Preparation isn’t optional. It’s the edge that keeps you sharp, the armor that keeps you resilient, and the discipline that makes sure you’re ready when the moment hits.  Obviously, this all makes sense to you and if it does this will be the most important letter you’ll ever read!!!

Because in this game, there are no participation trophies. You’re either ready, or you’re NOT.

Let me shoot straight with you—what I’m about to hand you isn’t just training, it’s survival. It’s the edge every serious warfighter needs to stay sharp under pressure, complete the mission, and make it back home in one piece. This isn’t for the bare-minimum crowd or the ones waiting for command to spoon-feed them. It’s for the ones who know that in combat, hesitation gets people killed and lack of preparation writes body bags. You want to lead, protect your team, and dominate the chaos? Then this is how you stay ready when it counts.

Too many service members end up on the wrong side of a headline—or worse—because they weren’t equipped with the right tools when everything went sideways.

I’m not talking about fancy theory or “tough guy” posturing. I’m talking about real-world, battle-tested skills that kick in when the adrenaline spikes and things go off the rails. Skills that let you control a threat without escalating into a nightmare. I’m talking about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. And no, this isn’t about turning you into a cage fighter—it’s about giving you the upper hand in close-quarters combat when it’s just you, the threat, and zero room for error.

But before I break down why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu isn’t just a “nice-to-have” — but a need-to-have — let me tell you a quick story. This one’s about a high-speed, squared-away Sergeant who just got assigned to Fort Meade, MD coming off an OCONUS deployment.

On paper, he had it all together — sharp, disciplined, the guy others looked up to. But when the moment hit, and chaos exploded right in front of him, he realized something gut-punch simple: he wasn’t ready. Not for that. What happened next, and how he clawed his way back from that moment of truth, will show you exactly why waiting to “get prepared later” is a gamble you can’t afford.

⚠️ We won't use the Sergeant's real name here, but I will give some description of how he was then and how he is now. 

He had 8 years in service. A solid rep. Tactical instincts. Enough street smarts to bluff his way through just about anything. Sure, he’d packed on a few pounds over the years. Sure, the gym hadn’t seen him since after Basic Training. And yeah—he’d laughed off Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and personal training like it was some midlife crisis nonsense. Said he was too experienced, too tactical, too damn busy for that kind of thing.

Then came that night. The one that nearly ended him.

Just another routine patrol, outside the wire down-range. One mouthy, noncompliant local. One scuffle that spun out of control in seconds. And suddenly, this squared-away soldier was on the ground—out of breath, outmuscled, and flat-out out of options. His squad rolled in just in time. But not before he got ragdolled, humiliated, and left nursing injuries that hit harder than the fight itself.

That night lit a fire. The kind you can’t shake off with ice packs and ego.

Back in the barracks, he reached out and spoke to one of those “crazy” guys who trained BJJ.  The ones he used to roll his eyes at. Hesitant, out of shape, skeptical as hell—he hit the gym and got on the mat.  Hell at least he showed up. And what happened next didn’t just change how he fought. It changed how he showed up—for himself, his squad, and his survival.

⚠️ The structure forced him to dial in. No more coasting. No more bluffing. The training didn’t just challenge him—it broke him. Then rebuilt him from the ground up. Stronger. Sharper. Smarter. Every roll, every escape, every takedown rewired how he thought about being a soldier.

Six months in, he wasn’t just leaner—he was locked in. Sharper. Calmer under pressure. And carrying a quiet confidence that didn’t come from his authority or the stripes on his shoulders. It came from knowing, deep in his gut, that he could handle himself—no rage, no overreaction, no brute force. 

Just control. Precision. Power. Now? He’s the guy the younger enlisted look up to. The one who doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. He tells it straight: “Don’t wait for your wake-up call. Mine damn near killed me.” 

That was four years ago. Since then, he’s personally helped over a dozen soldiers get on the mat and take their survival seriously. Because in this job, skill isn’t optional. Fitness isn’t a luxury. And preparation? It’s the only thing standing between you and becoming the next cautionary tale.

So in 2013, having trained and given a countless number of Service Members the skills needed to survive, I knew it was time to take the next step and I decided…

Why Not Make Brazilian Jiu Jitsu And The Benefits It Instills Available To Other Service Members???

So, I took everything I’ve learned—the countless hours of training and teaching students, combined with the proven effective techniques, and the strategies used by professional coaches and created a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program that could benefit Military Service Members.  Our program is designed to solve the exact problems that our unnamed deployed sergeant struggled with the night that almost ended his life…

You can walk the same path as our sergeant—the path that took him from out-of-shape and overconfident to focused, disciplined, and in control.  Just like him, you’ll step onto the mats and into a structured environment where composure, precision, and real-world control aren’t just taught—they’re drilled into you with every technique, every session.

You’ll earn small victories that stack up fast—mastering escapes, staying calm under pressure, showing up consistently when it’s the last thing you feel like doing. These aren't just martial arts lessons. These are life-saving tools that bleed into every part of your job: handling volatile people, managing stress, and showing up ready for the next patrol—not dragging your way through it.

Just like our sergeant, you’ll find more than a workout. You’ll gain a tribe—a community of fellow service members and civilians who push you, believe in you, and celebrate your progress like it matters… because it does. Before long, you’ll be walking taller, making smarter decisions under stress, and facing every patrol with the quiet confidence of someone who knows they can handle whatever comes their way.

Our specifically tailored Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program will re-build you.  You’ll get back into shape, focused, disciplined and in control.  It’s geared for military members who want to be mentally strong and self-assured.   

The sessions in this program are a structured dynamic blend of discipline, physical exertion, and technical learning, set within a respectful and focused environment. Students of all skill levels begin with a structured warm-up, which may include jogging laps around the mats, breakfalls, hip escapes (shrimping), technical stand-ups, bear crawls, and partner drills to raise the heart rate, mobilize joints, and reinforce fundamental movement patterns. After warming up, the class transitions into the instruction phase where the Black Belt professor demonstrates a specific technique or sequence, such as a guard pass, submission setup, or escape. This technique is broken down in detail, showing angles, grips, leverage points, and timing, often with live explanation and multiple repetitions.  Students then pair off and drill the technique repeatedly under the instructor’s supervision, receiving individualized feedback and corrections. This drilling period sharpens muscle memory and situational understanding.

Once the technique portion ends, the class often moves into positional sparring (e.g., starting from closed guard or mount) before culminating in full live rolling (sparring), where students apply what they've learned in a controlled but competitive setting. The sparring is strictly monitored by the Black Belt professor so as to ensure maximum SAFETY and to ensure a cohesive training environment.  The session ends with a cool-down, often including stretching and reflection, followed by students lining up by rank to bow out in mutual respect, reinforcing the hierarchy, discipline, and camaraderie that define the BJJ culture.  

The formation of these sessions was created from countless hours of instruction, private one-on-one training sessions, meeting with students to identify their goals, objectives and frustrations, and coordinations with other instructors and industry experts to formulate individual training plans. 

"But don’t take my word for it, here’s what other adults all over Anne Arundel County and the Annapolis area’s are saying about our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes and programs."

Which Of These Powerful Elements Could You Use As A Service Member To Build Discipline, Confidence, And Control?

1. Discipline That Bleeds Into Everything - Committing to a consistent training routine builds the kind of discipline most people say they have—but don’t. It sharpens focus, locks in your routine, and keeps you mentally and physically ready—shift after shift.

2. Clear Rules = Clear Thinking - On the mat, just like in the field, rules matter. You learn fast that cutting corners costs you. BJJ reinforces boundaries, accountability, and the sharp edge of what happens when your standards slip.

3. Lead By Example—Or Get Out of the Way. Whether you like it or not, people are watching. Your partners. The rookies. Even the public. BJJ shows them what discipline, control, and real leadership look like—without saying a word.

4. Real Goals, Real Wins - This isn’t mindless repetition. Every roll, every technique, every drop of sweat brings a goal closer. And every goal reached builds confidence that translates directly into your performance on the job.

5. Motivation You Can Feel - Progress in BJJ is black-and-white. You either get better, or you don’t. But every win, every breakthrough keeps you hungry, keeps you showing up—and that momentum carries you far beyond the mat.

6. Train for the Unexpected - Think a fight will go how you planned? Think again. BJJ puts you face-to-face with challenge after challenge—forcing you to adapt, think under pressure, and problem-solve like your life depends on it. Because one day, it will.

7. Learn to Manage You - The training demands more than grit. It demands time management, preparation, and emotional control—all skills every overworked, overstretched solder must master to avoid burnout and breakdown.

8. Fail Here So You Don’t Fail There - On the mat, failure’s a lesson—not a liability. You make mistakes. You learn. You grow. And you do it in a controlled, supportive environment that prepares you to not screw it up when it really counts.

9. Train the Body, Harden the Mind - BJJ conditions your body to take hits, manage stress, and stay in the fight. But more than that—it builds mental grit and the kind of tactical confidence that lets you take command under pressure.

10. Communication Without Words - Rolling with a partner teaches you to read intent, respond with control, and build unspoken trust—vital skills in de-escalation, teamwork, and boots-on-the-ground policing.

11. Results = Responsibility - BJJ is brutal in its honesty. You show up and put in the work, you grow. You slack off, you get passed. That cause-and-effect loop reinforces responsibility, hard work, and personal ownership.

12. Respect Earned, Not Given - You want respect from your team, your command, and your community? Show it first. BJJ builds humility, respect, and true camaraderie—the stuff that holds a unit together and builds public trust.

…And a whole lot more!!

Okay, So What’s the Cost of Building the Discipline, Confidence, and Control You Need to Stay Safe - On Deployment, In The Field and Down Range?

Let’s cut through the noise—service members waste thousands every year chasing the next “tactical” gimmick. High-dollar gear that looks cool in the barracks but fails under fire. Weekend warrior courses run by keyboard commandos with zero real-world credibility. I’ve seen service members blow $2,500... even $10,000 on programs that promise to “make you mission-ready,” but fall apart the moment adrenaline hits. And it gets worse—hours lost sitting through death-by-PowerPoint briefs, checking boxes instead of building real capability. Meanwhile, the enemy doesn’t care how many certificates you’ve earned—they care if you’re ready. And most aren’t: 

• Inconsistent Training – Workouts and courses that lack structure or real-world application.
   

• Zero Accountability – Nobody holding you to a higher standard, so the lessons never stick.
   

• Unsafe Environments – Training that puts you at risk for injury before you even hit the street.
   

• Unprofessional Instructors – Coaches who don’t live what they teach or understand combat realities.
   

• No Measurable Progress – You leave wondering if you’re any better prepared than when you started.

I’ve seen far too many service members stuck in that trap—burning cash and time, but not building the skills that keep them alive.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need to spend thousands to get what works. Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program for service members gives you the tools to build lasting discipline, real confidence, and the ability to control dangerous encounters—without breaking the bank.

And the cost? Nowhere near what those other programs charge. You can train for just $47 a week. Break it down and it’s only $23.50 per day—a tiny investment compared to the price of one mistake in the field.

You see, $47 a week is nothing compared to what soldiers waste on “tactical” gimmicks, overpriced seminars, nutritional supplements or generic gym memberships that don’t prepare you for real-world confrontations. 

And don’t even get me started on those high-dollar “elite” training camps designed for athletes—not service members—where you pay thousands for skills you’ll never actually use in the field.

Truth is, most service members spend more than $23.50 a day on things that vanish in an instant—coffee runs, fast food on shift, streaming NetFlix subscriptions, you name it. None of that builds your confidence. None of that sharpens your control. And none of it keeps you alive when a hostile decides today is the day they want to fight with you.

So why not put that same money into yourself—into skills that could transform the way you operate in the field?

I’ve spoken with countless service members who all admit they wish they’d started training BJJ sooner. They look back and realize how many close calls, how much stress, and how many sleepless nights could have been avoided if they’d had the right tools earlier. Instead, they were left frustrated, burned out, and dangerously unprepared.

Don’t let that be you. Invest in yourself now—before the job hands you a wake-up call you may not walk away from.

So what’s the catch? Why am I practically giving this program away? 

Well, it’s really quite simple. I want to give service members—just like you—the ability to build real discipline, confidence, and control without wasting time or money on unsafe, unprofessional, or unstructured training programs that don’t prepare you for the street.

I want to give you a transformation that isn’t temporary, but one that lasts your entire career. A transformation that empowers you with the strength, skill, and self-assurance to face down life-and-death challenges—and walk away in control.

In fact, to shamelessly bribe you even further, here are:

That’s why I’m offering the following 100% Risk Free Money-Back Guarantee: 

And to make this decision even easier, I’m going to take my 100% Money-Back Guarantee one step further. I’m giving you the chance to come in and try a full class—ABSOLUTELY FREE.

I wouldn’t have invested the time and effort creating this program for Military service members—and writing this message to you—if I didn’t believe it would instill the discipline, control, and confidence you’ve been looking for. This is the transformation every service member needs to stay sharp, stay safe, and stay in control.

You Really Can’t Afford NOT 
To Enroll In our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program!

Right now, you’ve got two choices:

You can do nothing—and hope you’ll magically gain the control, confidence, and tactical skill needed when the next high-stress encounter hits…

Or you can take action today by stepping onto the mats with our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program. Start building the strength, capability, and self-assurance that will transform the way you handle yourself in the field—and give you the confidence to face whatever comes your way.

This choice is yours. 

Imagine the reaction from your fellow warfighters—and even your command—when they start to see the shift. You’re walking with more confidence. Carrying yourself with quiet discipline. Staying cool, calm, and locked-in when the pressure spikes. They’ll see it. They’ll feel it. Because this kind of transformation can’t be faked. And deep down, you’ll know exactly where it started: with one decision—you stepped up, laced up, got on the mat, and trained like your life depended on it.

That’s exactly why I built this program—because warriors like you deserve more than the bare minimum. You deserve structure that sharpens you, confidence that doesn’t crack under fire, and the kind of strength and control that doesn’t fade when the mission gets real. This isn’t fluff. This isn’t theory. It’s the breakthrough you’ve been hunting for—and it starts right here, right now, with you stepping up and owning it.

You don’t have to waste money on unsafe, unprofessional, or cookie-cutter training programs that don’t prepare you for the mission. Instead, you can get the real transformation you need immediately when you take action and enroll in our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program for military service members.

Obviously, you know the actual value you get is impossible to calculate.  What’s it worth to you (in peace of mind) to know with dead certainty that you are developing a concrete level of confidence and the ability to effectively defend yourself beyond your most optimistic expectations.

Can you even begin to measure this?  Is it worth even taking a chance on your safety…..  I can’t measure this for you.  Only you can…  But as a U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer, with a ton of combated deployments, I’m confident in saying that my safety is PRICELESS…..What's your worth??

But You'd Better Act Fast!!

Our membership availability is strictly limited to a maximum of 200 students.  Which means we fill up fast.  We live in a heavy Government and Military populated area and as the seasons change, Military and Government families move from one assignment to another.  This is one of the reasons that we fill our membership spots so fast, so we will probably be at capacity in a couple of days.

If you want to make sure you’d better act now and nail down this opportunity to substantially develop a concrete sense of confidence and ability to effectively defend yourself now — and in the future — you’d better act now.

Remember, I’m giving you the chance to come in and try a full class—ABSOLUTELY FREE. No strings, no gimmicks. Experience the training for yourself, see the value firsthand, and only if you decide it’s worth it will, you continue. 

Here’s how this works.  If you want to get in and start learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu you have to be the kind of person who can take IMMEDIATE ACTION.  After reading this message you'll have about 30 minutes to make a decision that will impact you forever... And after that, you wont be able to access this offer again.

So take action today, right now—while it’s fresh on your mind. Empower yourself with the strength, capability, and self-assurance to face whatever this job throws at you.

TIME is Running OUT!!

Sincerely,

Professor Al Hogan
